What books did you get last week?

Getting in touch with The Printed Page...

Quote for the week of July 26th

Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of alphabetic writing through the inventor of movable type to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees themselves, though their commitment is total. ~Forsyth and Rada, Machine Learning

A note to my visitors...

Thank you for stopping by The Printed Page in your travels through the blogging world. Here you will everything books in my world. The Printed Page started as a place for me to post my thoughts and impressions, not professional style book reviews, about the books I've read throughout the year and to meet up with my f2f book club friends. Along the way it's become a bit more and bit less than that.

All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?Trade-sized paperbacks. ~ They're the perfect size ~ The type is not too small nor too large; the dimensions of the book make it easy to carry in a purse, backpack, briefcase, etc. without taking up too much space. They're always my first choice when buying books.
